Initiatives

THE SOUTHWOOD COLLABORATIVE, RICHMOND VIRGINIA

This collaborative effort is a joint venture between Richmond City Health Department Resource Center at Southwood and Belmont Community Resource Services.  The project is being led by RCHD Community Health Workers in the community. This project was originally sponsored in part by the Richmond District of the United Methodist Church and the Bob and Anna Lou Schaberg Foundation. The goal of this project is to create a community building model that can be used by the Richmond Health Department in neighborhood resource centers across Richmond.
